Wooops I guess he’s not rich enough to pay off judges and prosecutors. Sucks to suck.

Scientology couldn't even save him?

I bet if it was Tom Cruise they would have done more.

[–] Vex_Detrause@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What if Scientology wanted this. So many what ifs when you include Scientology.

[–] IDontHavePantsOn@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

They didn't, but with the amount of publicity it got they probably didn't find it worth the investment since he likely wouldn't be able to work anymore.

Scientologists poisoned the dog of one of the victims for speaking up. After that dog died the victim got a new dog which was then poisoned. They did what they could to shut her up.

They fought this pretty hard. The victims had to suffer even more just to pursue this thanks to those cultist fucks

Tom makes enough money to take his thetan levels seriously. Doesn't look like Danny boy'll be that bankable of a star going forward.

We're clearly seeing some break from the trend of rich and famous people seeing no consequences for being awful.

…creebspy and rapey Kelly, rapestien.. it’s been a bit more than a minute now. Sad that it took a whole movement to get the ball rolling though

Nothing came out of the rammstein case. It was concluded that the statements given were false by the Berlin public prosecutors office.

To be fair, I think that is one of those cases where someone says something about something happening, and a whole bunch of people hop on a bandwagon saying the same thing to try and get something out of it. I mean some of the shit they were saying was straight up satirical, the "Suck Box"? Give me a break now.

Lynn even made it a point that Lindemann did not rape her, and then a bunch of women came out and said that he did but never testified against him in one of the safest countries on the planet to do so. The only thing I think is suspicious on rammsteins' behalf is that they distanced themselves from Makeeva, but perhaps she was spreading rumors about her role with the band? Who knows.

Well for one: I said rapestein. Not rammstein.

And ….

the safest countries on the planet to do so

Lol how do you out yourself as a misogynistic fuckface mansplaining shit they don’t actually understand without just saying it? Say this bullshit right here.

[–] havokdj@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's pretty obvious who you were talking about buddy, don't play stupid fucking games with me, we aren't children.

And wow, you're going to assume that I'm all of those things because I mentioned that Germany takes rape VERY seriously and if allegations are true (they have very invasive investigative procedures), then they should have persued it because justice will absolutely be served? You are an actual piece of shit.

I refuse to further this conversation. You should take time to think about what you said to another human being. You are so fucking rabid that you called me those things when I even presented potential evidence AGAINST them, just that the evidence for them heavily outweighs everything else. You have absolutely no idea what my views are and you automatically assumed I'm one of the worst kinds of people imagineable.

There's definitely not another actual human being on the other side of that screen, other people definitely don't matter and don't have feelings just because you can't see them.

Shame on you.

It’s not that rich people are treated incorrectly, it’s that average people are treated too harshly. Rich people get what everyone should get: A way to defend themselves.
